[PULL 2/3] docs/interop/bitmaps: use blockdev-backup


From: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy
Subject: [PULL 2/3] docs/interop/bitmaps: use blockdev-backup
Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2021 18:52:24 +0100

We are going to deprecate drive-backup, so use modern interface here.
In examples where target image creation is shown, show blockdev-add as
well. If target creation omitted, omit blockdev-add as well.
